Great location, helpful staff.
Amazing location and good value. The room had everything I needed and was solid but small. Good shower and comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful - made restaurant reservations, booked taxis and were overall pleasant. Only negatives: no ambient sound and sadly, the room was totally clean when I checked in BUT there was some old pee on the toilet seat. I let the front desk know and they offered to switch my room but I had already started to unpack so they sent housecleaning immediately and all else was great. Things happen.

The property is located in a nice area and is very central. The actual property is lacking in a lot of the standard amenities: there is no complimentary coffee and coffee pots in each room, which is really unusual for a hotel; there are no fridges in the room; housekeeping never refreshed my toiletries in the bathroom (I was always out of the vanity kit).
some of the front desk staff are helpful but not always. They are also not always at the front desk which is frustrating when you are waiting there for a long time for someone to come to the desk.
The cafe downstairs and the staff there are really kind.

I have been to Istanbul a lot of times. Have tried different hotels and I can honestly say, Khai Hotel is the best experience I had. It is located in a perfect district. Very close to both European and Anatolian side. Neighbourhood is very safe and full of interesting cafes, shops and people. Best staff person can ask for. Young, vibrant and interesting people who make sure your stay is perfect and easy. Rooms are clean, with all necessary amenities. Walking distance from all the main streets and attractions. It is surrounded by very good restaurants, cafes and shops. Pharmacies and supermarkets all within 200 m radius. I will definitely book my next visit with Khai Hotel. THANK YOU KHAI FOR AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

I highly recommend Khai Karakoy. The manager, Umut Aksu and staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our short stay, as we were in Istanbul for an 18-hour layover from Athens back to the US.
I am particular about bathrooms and their bathroom was very clean and same for the room. They had a welcome note and some snacks for me and my partner. Such thoughtful touches were very much appreciated. Mr. Aksu was great at engaging us to understand what we wanted to do in Istanbul during our short visit, as well as ensuring we had our transportation set-up for our very early morning departure back to the airport. He made some sightseeing and dining recommendations in the area, most importantly clear directions on where we wanted to go.
We hope to return to Turkiye for a longer vacation next time and Khai Karakoy would be our hotel of choice. It is such a gem of a spot to stay in. Rooms are clean, area is safe, quiet, great staff and such a great location by the Galata Bridge and walkable to a lot of attractions in the area.

Personel çok ilgili, hızlıca yardımcı olmaya çalışıyorlar. Konumu çok merkezi, birçok yere yürüme mesafesinde. Bizim odamız çok küçüktü ve havalandırmayla ilgili çok iyi değildi. Kahvaltı seçeneği olsa çok daha iyi olurdu. Onun dışında çok tatlı bir otel

Sadece odada mini bi buzdolabı ve bi tekli koltuk daha iyi olabilirdi sanırım.
Onun dışında ulaşım kolay rahat bi konumda

Merkezi konumda güzel bir otel. Şansızlığımız resepsiyona 5-6 mt mesafedeki odada 3 gün geçirmek zorunda kalmamızdı. Oda 5 adım genişliğinde, yere yığılan kalın perdeleri zaten 1 adımını kaplıyor, geriye kalan alanda pek hareket edemiyorsunuz. Uzun süreli konaklamada sıkıntı yaşanabilir. Ayrıca su sesi çokça geliyor.
